'Peace Games' are no game-changer for South Koreans

South Korea's self-styled "Peace Games" have been a sporting success but public reaction suggests it may have failed its bigger test - to generate the support its president needs to make bold moves to improve ties with old enemy North Korea.

Washington is imposing its largest set of sanctions on North Korea to pressure it to drop its nuclear missile programme. The United States and Asian allies will expand ship interceptions to prevent sanctions violations, U.S. officials said.
If this failed, U.S. President Donald Trump said "phase two" could be "very, very unfortunate for the world".
--
Trump need to tell the World what is involved in this "phase two"?
And what he mean when he say - "very, very unfortunate for the world"?

Does Trump means he want to do a "preemptive strike" on N Korea?

And denuclearisation of Korean Peninsula --- is the single most critical issue that must be handle carefully between S Korea, US, Japan, China, Russia vs N Korea ---- because potentially it can flare up - and result in a nuclear war - where its destructive consequences will be beyond any humanity can handle.

(1) Nuclear contamination can spread 3,000 km to beyond radius wide.
(2) Nuclear atmospheric explosion can knock out all electrical plants, water plants, kill food source --- and all humans can perish within 7 days - without food, water and electricity.

The consequences are unimagineable --- if they are not managed carefully.

Now, there is some "silver lining" arising (a vital "window period") --- and it is important the politicians can take advantage of it and handle the denuclearisation carefully.

People with good insights can help to contribute "solutiuons" that can be accepted by both parties - which hopefully can help to break the impasse.

If US, S Korea vs N Korea (plus others like China, Japan and Russia) ---- are unable to handle this "silver lining", this "window period" well) ----- what comes later in this few months ---- can be "unimagineable" ---- where "all hell can break loose" ---- and all humanity can perish ---- if it turn out to be a "nuclear winter".

(1) Asia Pacific and US may perish first.
(2) Subsequently "nuclear winter" may cover the whole Earth --- and all humanity may perish with it.

However, if the Korean denuclearisation issue is handle well ------ denuclearisation may become possible --- and N Korea for the 1st time may follow the footstep of China, Russia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos ---- to integrate with the World "seamlessly" --- and benefit from the Peace, Economic Development and the subsequent prosperity ---- like anyone else.

So this "window period" ---- is very vital to "Humanity" and should be handle "very carefully".

Actually Humanity is very close to extinction (with AI robotics weapon in the horizon - that can kill humans easily with no emotion) - and this Korean Peninsula crisis - can wipe out humanity in one fell swoop if negotiation fails.

Humanity fail to realise this.
